I hope this is OK to put here, I thought it best to keep them all our 10mm releases in one place rather than post each one separately!

We've been previewing these for a while and they're now available! There's 5 different types in this first release, including four houses and a barn type. The quality on these is outstanding, so all credit to John at Ironclad for his work on them.

While absolutely unrelated to the subject (really nice houses!) I was considering putting together some 10mm fantasy armies to play Armies of Arcana with them as I'm getting a bit fed up with painting huge armies for 28mm...we'll see how it goes.

Let me know if we can help with that, we've recently revamped all of our Fantasy ranges for our Warband rules.

While I've been busy with BKC, Dave's had the moulding machine working overtime to get a load of new vehicles sorted in time for Hammerhead this weekend. First up we've got some brand new FT-17's, with round and hexagonal turrets in both 37mm and machine gun variants. Plus we've added the command tank for good measure!

Our 10mm Modern vehicle range is continually being added to, and we've got a variety of excellent new releases for you here.

First up, we've got the last of the 'M' variants we previewed last year, starting with the Pershings. Over 2000 M26's were produced in total, with only a very small number being the M45 version we've got here as well. We've also had some spare tracks done as well, so you can now add some useful armour plating to your vehicles.

Elsewhere we've got the M60 tank, in both A1 and A2 versions. This one was produced in huge numbers, over 15,000 across it's many variants, and saw its main action during the Arab-Israeli Yom-Kippur War. The A2 'Starship' version had a completely new turret with both the 152mm gun and the Shillelagh anti-tank missile system.

And finally, a little treat for fsn as we've got the Centurion bridgelayer ready! This is a huge piece of kit, with the bulked up Centurion plus bridge mechanism and the bridge itself, hence the higher pricing on it. We're looking forward to seeing it in a game though!

Thanks! We've got a little more temptation for you then...!

We've gone a bit Sherman mad recently, but this lot finishes off all of the variants we've got planned for the 10mm US lists. There's a few more coming for the Brits, but we'll update with those when they're ready. This little collection have got the mid-war hull with a selection of turrets.

The vehicle production line continues this week, with a mix of revamps and new models for you now.

First up we've got an addition for the French, in the form of the Laffly W15 TCC, or “Tracteur Chasseur de Chars”, meaning tank hunter tractor. Only 62 of these were made but it's a handy little addition to the range. Moving on to the Germans, with the newer Tigers now in circulation we've had the Sturmtiger conversion done as well.

Finally, we've got three releases for the Soviets. With our revamped KV chassis' we've now been able to make some much better IS-2 and ISU-152 models, plus as a new addition we've got the ISU-122 as well. This lot were produced in rather larger numbers, with 3850 x IS-2's, 1150 x ISU-122's and a massive 4,600 x ISU-152's made. So you'll need a few for your armies...!

A nice little addition for you now, with a useful pack of 16 assorted shell craters added to the website and available to buy! These can be used in all manner of ways, so whether it's as scenery on your WWI tables or markers in your WWII gamers, these will certainly find a use somewhere.

The craters vary in size from 15mm for the small ones upto 35mm for the larger types, so useful for 6mm upto 15mm games.

We've also been working on a variety of new scenery items, so there's some nice additions in this lot.

First up we've got some MDF fencing, in both regular and snakerail versions. We've been doing some tests with resin fencing for some time now but at this scale it can be quite fragile, so while we continue with that we thought we'd release some MDF ones as well. These packs contain 10 lengths of fence, each 80mm long and 7/8mm high, with the regular fencing coming with an integral base included as well. We've included a shot of some ACW figures with them to give an indication of size.

Next up is some more craters for the 20th C. crowd. The smaller ones released last month have proved extremely popular, so we've added these larger sizes as well, ranging from 40mm-55mm in width. There's a pic of them with a tank to give an indication of size.

And finally we've got some broken stone walls! We've already added irregular versions of our hedges, so it made sense to add some broken/breached stone walls to the range as well. As with the other walls/hedges packs, there are 4 sections per pack (2 of each type) with each section being 80mm long.

First up is a Sherman for the Soviet range! After the UK, the Soviets were the biggest users of Sherman tanks through the lend-lease program, and they took over 2000 of this M4A2 version with the 76mm gun. As we've been giving so much attention to the Shermans recently it made sense to sneak this one in as well.

Our other release here is the oft-requested M11/39 for the Italians. This one was moulded a short while ago but we'd not managed to get it photo'd up and released properly.

In between packaging stock, prepping orders, and cramming it all in the van, we've managed to get some last minute releases ready for Salute!

With our expanding Napoleonic ranges we've been wanting to add some new flagsheets for some time, so we turned to the talented Tony Hughes to help us out! This first lot covers the Austrians, Brits, French, Prussians and Russians, with some other nations planned for the future.

We had these through just after Salute but it's taken a little longer to get them photo'd and up onto the new website. The delay turned out to be a positive though, as it meant we were able to get some extra painted shots of them done, courtesy of Paul Davies! He's just done a review article for Wargames Illustrated which can be found here: https://www.wargamesillustrated.net/pendraken-10mm-american-civil-war-buildings/

Things on the release front have been a bit quiet recently while we're working on BKC-III, but Dave's been steadily building a stack of new vehicles on the desk so I thought it was about time to get them released. The thread title is a bit misleading though as a lot of these are revamps, with some new vehicles thrown in as well.

For the Brits, we've got some more Sherman revamps, plus two new M3 Stuarts with the early rivet and later turrets. Moving to artillery, we've done a bit of work on the 25pdr and added the earlier version with the muzzle brake.

On the German side, the new Panther models are all ready and released, as well as a rather random Beobachtungspanzer version, of which there was only one produced! So naturally, most folks will need at least 3 of them...!

The Soviets have got a better T-26 model (which I know has changed previously) but we weren't completely happy with it so asked the designer to do a fresh base model to be used for T-26's and Vickers E's further down the line.

And finally we've got a single French release, with the AMC-35 ready to go. This is essentially the same as the Belgian ACG-1 tank, so it'll be of use to a future Belgian range as well.

John at Ironclad has been working on some more useful scenic items for us, so we've got some handy artillery markers and also some haystacks.

The artillery markers come in two types and are based on 15mm circles. These can be used either as markers for your artillery units or just simply as a bit of extra scenery on the table. The haystacks contain 4 types (2 of each in the pack) and vary from around 15mm wide up to 25mm wide. Both of these releases are on the website £4.00 per pack.

Maybe you should think about supporting this forum. You are using it to inform about products and events for quite a long time. This is interesting - but also commercial. So I think Benno would really appreciate, if you would become a supportive member here.
